"Animal Trackers contacted me right away. They came out within an hour of contacting me. They were helpful, friendly and efficient. They trapped the raccoon that had gotten in my attic and removed it immediately. I would definitely recommend them to anyone with an animal issue."

"Very well. Mr. Valdez is very sharp, very smart, very professional. He examined the hole, and told me that the squirrel had not chewed his way into the side of the house. Then he proceeded to seal up the hole. Afterwards, he gave me valuable information on pest control in general. I highly recommend."

"They came in on time, and were very thorough. Bait they've placed is all pet and child safe. They inspected exterior of our home and sprayed repellents in likely nesting areas. Highly recommend"

"Mike came out to my rental house when he was supposed to be there; right on time.  He told my painter that I did not need pest control services because the entire house was painted and that the roaches wold no longer be a problem.  I was a few minutes late and Mike explained that I don't need his services and that if it were his house, he wouldn't pay the $125 to hire him, I did not need it.  I thanked him for his honesty, but, I felt like I should hire him anyway, since I called him out to my house.  So, I told him I didn't doubt his professionalism, but, since I called him out to work, I thought it would be a good idea for my own peace of mind and just to ensure the problem was handled. 
He did a thorough job of applying the control in the kitchen, paying special attention to cabinets, behind cabinets, stove, frig, etc.  He did a perimeter control on the interior, and guaranteed his work for 30 days.  It has been a week, and no signs of any roaches, living or dead.  It wasn't that bad of a problem, but, after 2 thorough applications of store bought product and still having some live roaches, I needed a solution.  Mike said my painter did the extermination job, but, why take chances?  Besides, Mike is a very friendly and honest guy and I appreciated his advice.  Thanks Mike.  Hope I don't have a need for your service, but, I have 5 houses, so when I do, I will call you.

"I thought I had squirrels in the wall,but when Ax came out he checked around the entire house and didn’t see any signs of squirrels coming in anywhere, however he did go in attic and stated it could be nice so he dropped poison packs and said I should stop hearing the sounds within a few days. He stated he will be back in a couple of weeks. They replied to my email and even though Josh said he couldn’t make it, he will see if he could get someone out, within a hour, Ax called me and came out and took care of the problem."

"I purchased the Angie's List deal for a cleaning and inspection. Scheduling was quick and easy. They were able to send someone out about 1 week after I called. The only small hiccup was that the provider was running behind schedule but they didn't call us to let us know. When we called, they were able to give us an ETA, and the technician arrived within the scheduling window. The work was done quickly and efficiently. The technician didn't try to up sell us on any costly repairs. I will use them again next year!"

"My dehumidifier had leaked on the carpet and I was concerned about mold. Green T's process and the additional sporicidin did help to modify the mold but the cleaning process seems to be faulty. The process consisted of applying cleaning liquid and extracting with no brushing of the fibers to "wash" or brush the rug surface, All stains are still there. Also, I do not have a driveway for easy access for the truck that houses the hoses. The hoses were not long enough to reach all of the 2nd floor bedroom without re-running the hoses through my home. I decided against this so the bedroom was eliminated and the office immediately reduced the cleaning price. Although a stain from a spilled liquid was removed from the area rug, the rest of the area rug does not even look as though it has been cleaned. I am going to contact Green T to come back (which they said is part of their service) and view the rugs for their evaluation of the cleaning and what my next step should be. At that time, I will edit my rating. The people in the office and the technician were all very nice, informative, easy to work with, and tried to be helpful. UPDATE: Wow. Talk about good customer service. At first I was very disappointed with the outcome but Green T has gone the extra mile to make sure I am satisfied. They are standing by their guarantee to make the customer happy and are redoing my carpeting at no additional charge. It has been a pleasure doing business with them and yes, I will rehire."

FAQs for small animal pest control service projects in Riverside, IL

Self-removal attempts using store-bought traps can cost $50, but require personal time investment and knowledge of proper handling techniques. While DIY methods might work for isolated cases, professionals bring expertise in identifying all entry points, implementing effective deterrents, and safely handling wildlife. 

Consider your comfort level with wildlife management and the potential health risks—armadillos can carry disease—before deciding between professional services or personal intervention.

Most homeowners see initial results within two to five days after professional trap placement, particularly with single-animal situations. However, multiple factors can extend this timeline, including the number of animals present, weather conditions affecting activity patterns, and the complexity of your property layout. 

Properties with established armadillo populations might require one to two weeks of active trapping. Discuss realistic timeframes with your wildlife specialist during the initial consultation to set appropriate expectations.

Filling and repairing burrows adds $75 to $110 per hole to your total project cost. While some comprehensive service packages include minor repairs, extensive landscape restoration requires a separate payment. 

These repair costs cover materials like topsoil, sod, or concrete patching compounds, plus the labor to properly restore the damaged areas. Before finalizing any service agreement, clarify exactly which repair services are included and which will incur additional charges.

While armadillos remain active throughout the year in many regions, scheduling removal during less busy seasons for wildlife control companies might secure slightly better rates. Fall and winter months often see reduced demand for these services, potentially offering more scheduling flexibility and competitive pricing. 

However, the most cost-effective approach is addressing armadillo issues promptly when first noticed, regardless of season, as delaying can lead to more extensive damage and higher ultimate costs.
